man Of sterling integrity, with the
highest sense of honor and of the most

constitute the principal charm of the book. But
beyond all this is a strong element OF human
interest in which we are conscious OF poetic quar-
ity. In the lives Of the two jacob Dophs, father
and son. we are brought face to face with the trag
edy daily renewed and unnoticed. OF old age whlcD
fails to keep pace with the general change ana
moves slowly to the end under growing burden OF
unftness for the present and of sorrowful memo
ries. There is something very touching IN the PIC
ture OF the successive heads of the house, there are
passages in whose decacy Thackeray would nave
delighted; and Mr. BURNER never loses the reserve
which makes his sentimental writing 80 surely Ell
fectve. II was mistake TO let the two Dolrhs die
90 nearly in the same way. but we hardly think OF
another serious blemsh IN the story.

In broad realm whose beauty passed all measure,
A city fair and wide.
Wherein the jewellers lived in peace and pleasure,
And never any died.
Disease and pain and death. those stern marauders,
Which mar Our worlds fair face,
Never encrOached upon the pleasant borders
OF that bright dwellingplaee.
No feai of parting and no dread Of dying
Could ever enter there;
No mourning for the lost, no anguishcd crying
Made any face less fair.
without the city wall Death reigned as ever
And graves rose side 10y side;
Within, the jewellers laughed at his endeayor,
And never any died.

To live in the sweet light Of loving faces,
And fear no grave between.
To feel no death-damp gathering cold and colder,
Dsputing fes warm truth;
To live on, never loncer nor older
Radiant In dcathless youth!
And hurrying from the worlds remotest quarters,
A tide OF pilgrims flowed
Across broad plains and over mighty waters,
To lind that blest abode.
Where never Death should come between and sever
Them from their loved apart,
Where they might work, and will, and live forever
Still holding heart " heart
And so they lived. In happiness and pleasure,
And grew in power and pride,
And did great deeds, and laid up store Of treasure
And never any diedl
And many years rolled on and saw them striving
With undated breath;
And other years still found and lef. them living
And gave no hope OF death.

NhAi'brs W. ro'iEh- publications, L he
Press, News and Call of that city; and
during this long term as n general
worker had no opportunity or desire to give
his humorous faculties full play. In The
News and The Call he conducted funny co..
umns which were widely quoted, but man
agerial responsibilities prevented him from
doing himself justice. On The Omaha World
he is not thus handicapped, and hence the
marked difference in results. He is n devoted
student OF human nature. Mankind is his
hobby. Given n character and an occa-
sion it is easy for him to guess what
IL would be natural for that character
to do. Mr.. Fosters humor is thus full
OF revelations, his little surprises seeming in
exhaustible. Born and reared in the anthra-
cite coal and canal regions of Pennsylvania,
spending many of his early years in mining
towns, he had the double advantage of nsso-
citation with people of the highest refinement
and personal acquaintance with characters
such as could only be found there. For
months he was one of the denizens of u min
ing district, one-hnlf of whose inhabitants
were arrayed against the other, the law, abid-
ing portion being drilled and uniformed in
regular military organizations and many
places being practically under martial law.
Following his natural bent, he did his best to
probe the cause of dissaffection to the
bottom, often taking long tramps through
the gang infested forests at night in
hopes OF adding to his stock of information,
the points publicly presented being apparently
of little moment. Men we're being Swallowed,
beaten and shot seemingly without motive
and q reign of terror had begun, which con-
tinued with little interruption for years.
From such scenes he was suddenly transferred
to an academy in n large city. After a few
years he returned to his mountain home Mt
llauch Chunk, Pa, revisited the mining
towns and was then sent to bio Lewis gymn-
astic school near Boston, where outside of the
hours of exercise he had nothing to do but
study the universal Yankee rs he exists in
New England. After preparing for college,
entering and remaining q few terms he
abandoned the classics and spent sew
eral years in business pursuits, which
took him into adjoining states and
threw him among people OF every imaginable
sort. His journalistic experience in Philadel-
phia embraced every duty which q newspaper
worker can be called on to perform, and led
him into all grades of society, from the FIRE
quenters of the lowest dives and denizens of
the most revolving slums to the visiting
wearers Of coronets and their cultured
American hosts. His reportorial duties for
~tunately happened to extend over the Centen-
NAL year, and, being at the Exposition daily,
he acquired u familiarity with national traits
and customs only possible to the carefully OBJ
serving traveller. 1t will be seen, therefore,
that The Omaha World man has not achieved
popularity ut II bound. He has labored as
only journalists can or will labor at his
chosen profession, and his bright sallies are
but the glintings of sunshiny drollery along
the rough but diversified hedges of wide ex-
t.arinnp.

IN AN interesting article on 1.-The Food
of China" The North China Herald says
that the greatest part of the soil of the
Celestial empire which is cultivated is
devoted to the production of food. There
are no ilocks Oh herds. and the areas de-
voted to cotton and mulberry arc very
small compared to the extent of the en-
pire. OF the $50, 900, 900 or 260, 600, 600
of China three-fifths live on rice and two
fifths IN small millet and wheat. In tho
dry. dusty soil of the northern provinces
millet and wheat grow well and form the
food of the inhabitants; in the moist soil
and hot climate of south China rice pros
pers and forms the chief produce and
food of the people. Maize extends over
a wider area every decade. Valuable.
too. is the glutinous rice, from which the
old undistilled wine is brewed, and which
is itself an appetizing article of food.
Cabbages and carrots, with the best tur-
nips, onions, melons and radishes, have
come into China from the west; the
kind which are indigenous are interior.
Western gardening, which has i'm
proved SO many vegetable productions,
has done much for China in supplying
her markets. Spinach was introduced
1000 years ago from Persia, and the
name pot-sia, by which it is known,
G the Persian vegetable. Lately
beet root has come in from Europe, for
though the Chinese cannot make up their
minds to make railways, they like new
fruits and vegetables well enough. The
introduction of European and American
vegetables, seeds and fruit trees into
China is improving and varying the food
of the people, just as western arts and
manufactures are increasing their Injuries
and comforts. And in these ways many
changes are being brought about quietly
but effectively, which are to a consider
able extent altering the old life of the
Chinese md almost imperceptibly opening
tho way to further departures Chicago

John Hunton says he dislikes to be
brought into court under any circum-
stances, but of late he was 50 situated
that he had to take his chances, and at
the time didn't know but they might try
to make contempt of court out of it. He
had in his custody several head of animals
belonging to the Roy property, and when
in accordance with the late order of the
court appointing a receiver and authoriz-
ing him to take possession OF the property,
the animals were demanded OF Mr.. Hun
ton he refused to give them up until his
expenses for their keeping were paid.
